Description The leptocephalus of Uroconger Iepturus was first described by Nair in 1946
and its occurrence was later recorded from the Gulf of Mannar (Nair, 1948).
The present collection consists of several leptocephali and elvers of different
sizes, the majority of which was collected from Versova (vide Introduction,
Nair and Mohamed, 1960). All the stages described here were taken from
the collection made on the 9th January 1954. Most of the larvae in the
collection were edentulous and showed high variation in the preanal myotome
number and the latter character was also found to vary in the few
toothed larvae present in the collection.
